Tripod Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) The boyfriend and I are both in medical school, so we have similar academic backgrounds. However, we come from different economic backgrounds. His family owns multiple houses and I'm pretty sure, although I haven't asked to confirm, that they are millionaires. I had no idea that my boyfriend comes from a wealthy family until months into the relationship because he is down to earth, lives frugally, and shops at secondhand stores. The boyfriend's parents have paid for everything for my boyfriend and his siblings', including college and graduate school, and the children have had it easy financially. His parents are very friendly, but I am uncomfortable when I'm with them, especially when they host fancy dinner parties with their equally wealthy guests. His family's social circle is different from what I am used to. Also, they are very conservative whereas I grew up in a liberal household. Any thoughts on feeling more comfortable around them?

Soxfaninfl Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 You will get used to it. You shouldn't worry about it really. So what if he comes from money. Your dating him and not his parents. If his parents are nice to you that is all that matters.
